Objective: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is known to be associated with development of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and heart failure (HF). The study aimed to determine the prevalence of LV dysfunction and HF in unselected out-patients with T2DM with no previous cardiac history and to correlate LV dysfunction and HF with demographic and comorbid characteristics. Methods: This cross-sectional study conducted at 27 centers in India captured demographic and clinical data through electronic case record forms. B-type natriuretic peptide of >105 pg/mL was used to diagnose HF and two-dimensional echocardiography was used to assess LV dysfunction. Results: Of the 615 patients, 54.3 % (n = 334) were males; mean age was 57.4 ± 10.48 years. More than one-third of the patients had T2DM duration of >10 years (n = 238; 38.7 %), with hypertension as the most prevalent comorbidity (n = 372, 78.6 %). Approximately 61.3 % of the patients had LV hypertrophy. The mean LV mass was 135.0 ± 56.16 g (95 % CI 130.28, 139.70). The prevalence of any type of LV dysfunction, including systolic or diastolic dysfunction and HF was 55 % (95 % CI 51.0, 59.0) and 10 % (95 % CI 7.0, 12.0), respectively. A negligible but statistically significant correlation was observed between LV dysfunction and T2DM duration (p = 0.011), alongside HF and age (p

In the title compound, C7H4F2O3, an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond is observed. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate R 2 (2)(8) ring motifs. These dimers are linked by C-H⋯O and C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds, forming sheets lying parallel to (30-1). The sheets are linked by aromatic π-π stacking inter-actions [inter-centroid distance = 3.7817 (9) Å], forming a three-dimensional structure.
